About 28 years ago, one of my friends neighbors gave me a copy of Agnostic Front's Victim In Pain Lp. We can not say that this record changed my life but somewhere he contributed. Last year a young band from Maine (USA) released a fantastic demo that can only remind this album. Here is their second effort "Psychosis Ep" again recorded by Ryan Abbott at...

For those of you who may not remember, Mercenary is the Atlanta band that formed after the demise of the great Bukkake Boys. They were supposed to release an LP on Grave Mistake, but after recording the instrumental tracks the band fizzled out and abandoned the project. Well, at some point I guess everyone convinced Ruby to go back in and record vocals...

From American Oi (m67204.wixsite.com/american-oi) : First things first though, because a four-track EP doesn’t start with the fourth track – now does it? Indeed, it doesn’t. In Fuerza Bruta’s case it kicks off with “Xibalba”, a haunting intro full of synths and terrifying soundscapes that wouldn’t be...

Cujo do one of the best demo of this year. 3 min of pure old school hardcore in the vein of Cardiac Arrest or Career Suicide. Last track is a hit. Euro edition, 50xred tapes.
CUJO - Demo 2016 by Thrash Zone Tapes

Rixe are back are with a fresh three song attack. “La Clé” is two minutes and twenty seconds of lean, mean and meaty Oi! that only Rixe over the last few years have perfected. It's driving sound is built on razor sharp tight drums, a slightly phased guitar and vocals that bite and bark. “Nuit Rasoir” is another straight down the line pounder that could...

The second ZONE INFINIE album. We loved their first effort and every time we saw them live it was a blast. With "Rester et Fuir", ZONE INFINIE pick up where they left off, sharpening their identity and making a great step forward in their sound, music and lyrics. The music can we described as melodic and melancholic punk sung in French but it's much more...

From American Oi :
I wasn’t familiar with French Oi! / hardcore formation TRAITRE, so when I saw this demo being released and put in my order I was under the impression I was dealing with a brand new band. But after doing some research it turned out the band isn’t as ‘new’ as I thought, started out in somewhere in 2012 and released two vinyl EP’s prior to...

New UKHC band Culprit's demo shows members of Shrapnel transitioning their songwriting from Breakdown/Raw Deal to Sheer Terror and Killing Time territory. This is gonna make you drop that twoey like no other! FFO: Shrapnel, Killing Time, Sheer Terror, NWOBHC
Demo by Culprit

The Mind Trap boys are back with a new tape to stomp your boots to. The boys rip through 6 new tracks that effortlessly jump from boot stomping anthems to breakneck speed. An all out offensive that proves Mind Trap are Europe's finest. 50 percent German, 50 percent Russian, 100 percent pissed off hardcore.
Dresden Sessions by Mind Trap

PUNK-ROCK. Split 7" between 2 Japanese bands. SHYBOY from Fukuoka has member of PEAR OF THE WEST, BUTCH and SCREAMING FAT RAT. They play melodic punk-rock like '70s UK punk. Think THE CLASH, NEWTOWN NEUROTICS or more recently bands like SMALLTOWN, RINGERS. BEERWULF from Kyoto are former I EXCUSE and play also melodic punk-rock with female vocal. More...

Tucson’s favorite PV band Sex Prisoner teamed up with the frenchies from Harm Done on this record. After both bands worked on a European tour happening in October 2017 they thought “Why not putting out a split record for the occasion?”. Here it is, 8 tracks (4 each) of their own kind of furious Powerviolence / Hardcore filled with Metal influences....

New England meets Olde England! Continuing their string of Flexual Healing cassettes, Painkiller is proud to offer Volume 6, "Live At The Paincave". On the last day of their massive summer 2015 US tour (and the morning after a double gig performance in Boston) the Flex rolled into the Paincave and ripped through their current live repertoire (10 songs!)...

Here we go again with a band from Lille, risen from the still burning ashes of TRAITRE, KRONSTADT is a new band from this really active punk scene. The ease option would be to compare them to their previous band but we won't. KRONSTADT offers some great punk-rock, heady and melancholic but also straightforward and catchy. A bunch of French punk bands from...
